Overview
Construction management that keeps your projects moving. Trusted by 1,000+ businesses across Australia, New Zealand and the UK.
Built for small and medium-sized builders, construction companies, subcontractors and trade contractors, TidyBuild helps you replace spreadsheets, paperwork and disconnected tools with one practical system for managing your projects, people, materials and costs.
TidyBuild is designed for construction businesses where every labour hour, material and project cost matters — and managing them manually makes it harder to stay on budget and protect your margins.
Whether you're managing residential builds, commercial projects, renovations or specialist trades, TidyBuild gives your office and site teams a shared view of projects, tasks, labour, materials and costs.
-
Stay in control of your projects: Know what work is underway, who's responsible, what's been spent, and how each project is tracking against budget.
-
Manage every project: Create projects, assign work, track progress and keep your team aligned from quote through to completion.
-
Capture every labour hour: Record time spent by employees and subcontractors against the right project, so labour costs are captured accurately and billable work doesn't get missed.
-
Track materials and project costs: Manage materials, purchases, supplier costs, and other expenses against each project to maintain an accurate view of total costs.
-
Protect your project margins: Compare actual labour, materials and other costs against budgets to identify overruns early and understand what each project is really earning.
-
Quote and invoice with confidence: Create quotes, convert accepted work into projects and use captured project information to support accurate and timely invoicing.
-
See how your business is performing: Use reporting and insights to understand project costs, revenue, budgets, profitability, and overall business performance.
-
Keep Xero in sync: Connect your project activity with Xero, reducing double entry and keeping your operational and financial information aligned.
Typical workflow:
Quote → Project → Plan & Assign → Labour & Materials → Track Costs → Complete → Invoice → Xero
This helps your team spend less time chasing paperwork, reconciling costs and updating spreadsheets, and more time keeping projects on track and profitable.
